The class structure worked very well for me.  I loved having the class discussions.  I felt in my element because there wasn’t pressure and I felt I could really take the time to write.   Your feedback was extremely helpful and insightful.   I am incorporating your suggestions in several of my essays, and I am excited to take the next class!

I am so glad I found you!!!  

“Your retreat was so lovely. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be surrounded by such inspiring women in a beautiful setting with exquisite instruction (both in writing and yoga).” ~ Emily P.

Rachel Schneider: This course is SO good, you are really making me reflect my inner emotions.

I feel like I am a thread unpicked from the tangled ball of wool that is my knotted past. I am coming to question myself, whether I fit in to this line of strong women, or whether the warp and weft of my life is another. The more self-reflection I do according to the themes of the course, the more I can imagine a series of essays that ties in with this.

Barbara Chovanec:

Thank you for a wonderful writing class. You’re an inspirational and nurturing instructor!

One of my biggest takeaways is that a story doesn’t need epic drama to be interesting. When I have thought about personal writing until now, I’ve struggled with “what’s the story?” You helped me see that the small stories matter, too.

Radha Jill Richmond-Covey – “I have loved being with you and the other students, and the assignments have been great.  You are a fabulous teacher.”

Courtney Jones – “Also this is the first course I have taken, I was a little nervous, with it being online and I LOVE it.  I am learning so much, and I appreciate your style.  Thank you.”

Olivet Jones – “This class has become the best part of my week.”

Brenda Blue – “I really enjoy your teaching style, knowledge and skill. I realize that often during my career I sought a mentor and think I just might have found one!”

Caryn Leigh Wideman – “I am learning so much in this class. I love the way you are helping us (me) go backwards in time to understand where we want to go. I am thankful for all I’m learning. This class has taught me about nailing down what I really want to do. Thanks for being so diligent in your responses. You’re a great teacher!”

“This was exactly what I was looking for!”

Anita Maria White

“All the advice and tips led to ideas being plowed up and revealed — makes me feel much more confident about my having essays inside me!”

Caryn Wideman

“The city of Huntington Woods engages the services of Your People LLC to assist us with communications. Under the direction of Lynne Golodner, they are instrumental in helping us navigate the messaging, prepare for media exposure, and put a positive light on potentially dramatic situations. We are able to tell the story we want to tell and bring positive exposure to our city. Without Lynne and  Your People, we would not master the message so efficiently.”

Robert F. Paul III, Mayor, City of Huntington Woods

“Lynne Golodner has a creative eye and a brilliant way of bringing thoughts and philosophies out.
You may just learn something about yourself if given the opportunity to let her work.”

Ed Brabandt, President, Systematic Manufacturing Inc.

“Your People and Lynne Golodner have a talent for nailing our company message and sharing it through strategic storytelling to the right audiences.
Their work is invaluable in building exposure!”

Brent Maxwell, Managing Director, IPS Realty

“Amazing results in a short period of time. The Your People team has helped us create a stable marketing foundation to support the growth of our school. From our digital footprint to public relations, they have significantly increased our inquires and awareness of our school’s importance.”

Cindi Bradshaw, Director of Admissions, Sacramento Waldorf School

“Before we worked with Your People, we were trapped in the everyday and couldn’t look over the horizon. Our project allowed us to stop, take a breath, and identify our purpose. By the end of our time together we had a new understanding of our brand positioning and strategy, and we knew the direction we needed to go. Our work together was so valuable, I would go back and spend four times what we spent then.”

Kieron Hales, Co-Managing Partner of Zingerman’s Cornman Farms

“Working with Lynne and the team at Your People was a really great and amazing experience!  Lynne was a joy to work with and the expertise she brought to the table helped strengthen our message!  If you’re in the market and are looking to have some messaging and public relations work done, Your People makes a great partner!”

Ken Davis, Director of Marketing, People’s Food Co-op, Ann Arbor 

“I am so lucky to work with the mastermind behind YourPeople LLC, Lynne Golodner. Lynne helped open my heart and my legal practice and now both are full, growing and booming.
As my publicist, marketing and PR professional, and business coach, Lynne always helps me move forward in a positive direction.
But she is not your usual, every day, “normal” publicist, marketing and PR consultant, and business coach! She’s creative, supportive, thoughtful, driven, productive and efficient; and she always has new ideas. If you’re ready to grow, Lynne is the person to help you reach your goals!”

Alisa Peskin-Shepherd, Principal, Transitions Legal PLLC

“Lynne is truly masterful in creating thoughtful, responsive marketing and PR strategies that build relationships and powerfully connect people to the mission of her client. With the support of her outstanding team to craft and implement a beautiful, comprehensive plan that brings results, she makes the whole process a joyful and empowering collaboration.”

Helena Mitchell, Pedagogical Chair, Detroit Waldorf School

“Thank you so much for being the person of the day, yesterday. Your (crisis communications) copy was fantastic. Last evening’s proceedings were nigh on magical. There was a calm and respectful energy. And so, your influence graced our respective journeys yesterday. Thank you so much, Lynne. We are grateful.”

Jane Lavelle Farris, Interim Facilitator, Waldorf Academy, Toronto

“As a testament to her dedication and passion to provide clarity during a time of fear and uncertainty, Lynne made herself available early mornings, late nights, weekends, and often without notice to ensure we sent the right message to those we serve. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has altered every aspect of our university. We cannot thank Lynne enough for her wisdom during this time of uncertainty.”

Emily Barnes, Cleary University Provost & Interim President
